The management of the Spanish football club "Real Madrid" has made a fundamental decision to extend the contract with Antonio Rüdiger.
İdman.Biz reports that, according to "Onda Cero", the reason for this decision is simple: the Madrid club considers Rüdiger stronger than most defenders in the current transfer market.
Despite the recent links of "Real" with several central defenders, the management prefers to keep the German footballer as the current option and plans to evaluate other possibilities only after that.
According to reports, Rüdiger himself wants a new two-year contract. However, the probability of the "Royal Club" agreeing to this is estimated to be low. A one-year extension option for the German defender is being discussed within the club as a more realistic option.
At the same time, sources report that Saudi Arabian clubs are increasingly interested in Rüdiger. Although "Real Madrid" is satisfied with the player's current performance, it is noted that the final decision regarding his future has not yet been fully formed.
